"Plum blossoms are as white as snow, spotless, white and flawless like the Zen heart of a monk, pure and ethereal, so plum blossoms are a kind of Zen flowers." Zhang Shaofei said with infinite fascination.

Village Chief Wang didn't know the details of Zhang Shaofei, but many of his words were in Buddhist language, and said: "Ah Fei, you are a layman, how can you talk like a master in a famous mountain and ancient temple?" ”

"I'm just going to be straight." Zhang Shaofei smiled and gestured, as if he was drawing a blueprint, "Imagine if we planted plum trees all over the hill over there." Those plum trees will be moistened by the rain and dew of Tianlu Mountain every day, and they must grow very well. On weekdays, the green trees are swaying, and the mountain is like a large green brocade quilt. In the future, when the spring flowers bloom every year, there are thousands of white flowers from each plum tree, and from a distance, the mountain is covered with a natural brocade quilt, which is particularly beautiful, which is more spectacular than you spread the silk and satin on the mountain. It is the ten thousand flowers that dare to come out of the snow, and a tree alone in the spring of the world. How holy are the white plum blossoms! How noble! How solemn! The mountains are full of snow-white plum blossoms, with a curling Zen atmosphere. Isn't there a beautiful world of Zen wind on the mountain over there?! ”

Zhang Shaofei's words seemed to show Village Chief Wang a beautiful and attractive natural landscape painting.

Village Chief Wang clapped his hands and shouted, "This method is indeed good. ”

Zhang Shaofei: "In addition, white plum blossoms also have medicinal effects. ”

Village Chief Wang was even more interested: "Ah, white plum blossoms still have medicinal effects?" ”

Zhang Shaofei: "It has the effect of soothing the liver, harmonizing the stomach and dissolving phlegm, and can cure plum core qi, liver and stomach pain, loss of appetite, dizziness, scrofula, and abdominal pain." ”

"Good! Good! Good! Village Chief Wang stretched out a thumbs up to Zhang Shaofei and praised, "Ah Fei, I didn't expect you to be Si Siwenwen, but your mind is not simple. How did you come up with such a difficult question? ”

Zhang Shaofei said bluntly: "My head flashed at the time, and I thought that the story of Lu Jia who covered Huabiao Stone with mountain brocade was just inspired. ”

During the Western Han Dynasty, Lu Jia sent two envoys to South Vietnam, and when he passed by the Huabiao Stone on the bank of the Xijiang River, he claimed that if he persuaded Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, to return to the Han Dynasty, he would pave the Huabiao Stone with brocade. After the success, Lu Jia planted yellow chrysanthemums all over the mountain, and looked like a yellow brocade mountain from afar. Later generations called Huabiao Stone Jinshi Mountain.

Village Chief Wang's melancholy face turned into a joyful expression: "There are many plum trees in our village, and those plum saplings are easy to find. Ah Fei, just do as you do. Today, I will arrange for the people in the village to do it. ”

Zhang Shaofei used his wisdom and wisdom to come up with this idea, which not only solved the big problem for Village Chief Wang, but also put on the cake on the opposite mountain, which is really the best of both worlds!

Village Chief Wang breathed a long sigh of relief this time and said, "You saved my precious son, and you saved me such a lot of money. I'm going to give you some money anyway as a reward. ”

"I am happy to be able to solve problems for others. I can't take the money. Zhang Shaofei waved his hand.

Village Chief Wang: "That being said, if you don't accept the money, I will be uneasy for the rest of my life." ”

Seeing that Village Chief Wang's attitude was so resolute, Zhang Shaofei pondered for a while and said, "Village Chief Wang, since you must pay money to reward me, then, you can use this money where it should be used." ”

Village Chief Wang: "Where to use!" What do you mean? ”

Zhang Shaofei's hand pointed outward: "The road to your cottage from the outside is steep and narrow, with potholes. You might as well pay for the rough road to be widened and paved so that the folks in your village can get in and out more easily. ”

Village Chief Wang: "Ah, you're asking me to pay for the road repair?" ”

Zhang Shaofei nodded: "Yes, building bridges and roads for the benefit of the township, what has been accumulated is great kindness." How about you pay for this good deed? ”

"Okay, okay." Village Chief Wang stretched out his thumb and praised, "Ah Fei, you are a person, you always think of benefiting others, you are really a good person who has cultivated in your past life and in this life!" ”

Zhang Shaofei humbly: "Village Chief Wang, what I do is just an ordinary thing. ”

Village Chief Wang told the plan in his heart: "Tomorrow I will call the whole village to dispatch, some people will go to the opposite hillside to plant plum trees, and others will go to level and repair the road into our cottage." ”

Zhang Shaofei laughed: "I'll also come to plant plum trees with you tomorrow." ”

Village Chief Wang was a little reluctant: "Do you want to bother you with these heavy jobs?" ”

Zhang Shaofei stretched out his calloused hands and raised them: "I have been going up the mountain to cut grass and collect firewood since I was sensible, and my hands are not idle." Besides, planting plum blossoms on Tianlu Mountain is also my wish! ”

Village Chief Wang: "Okay, then, I'll mobilize the people in the village to plant plum blossoms with you." ”

Since then, Tianlu Mountain has been planted with plum trees. When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, they are wrapped in silver and are extraordinarily enchanting, becoming a beautiful and holy world, and also becoming a well-known mountain of white plums.

The people of Tianlu Mountain also selected the day when the plum blossoms bloomed in spring, and set it as the annual "Plum Blossom Festival" there.
